Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:59:06 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=201845#comment-357437It’s hard to say he is injury prone: He got got smoked by Adrian Beltre and broke his ribs. He had a SS fall on top of his shoulder while he was stretched out for the bag (which is basically like a piece of wood stretched across two saw horses and getting chopped in the middle). He’s not a JD Drew: hammy pull, neck is stiff, forearm strain, calf is tight. That’s injury prone. Ellsbury plays hard all the time. Ellsbury first full year he hit 280ish, his second full season he hit .300, then the Beltre collision, and in the 3rd full season he had the monster year. The guy has been trending up (in his 3 full seasons). He is a good friggin player. That genius move in 2010 to move him to LF by Epstein costed him a season (even though he was clearly the best CF). He will have a great year next year. Unfortunately Boras is going to pimp him out to the highest bidder. Boras must have wet himself

And then remember that after all that, he was only a decent player when he wasn’t nursing a strained vagina.

Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:45:27 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=201845#comment-357215Drop dead Scott Boras. You are a horrible human being whose sole talent if bullshitting teams of the talents of “your” players has made you pornagraphicaly wealthy. Ellsbury is good, just good. Oh yeah, FRAGILE also. Make sure you include his DL time in that useless laminated book you will end up pimping to the Nats, who always end up over paying for your fluff.

I was hoping this was going to be as funny as his Johnny Damon “If he gets 200 hits a year” projections….despite the fact that he accomplished the feat exactly once….

Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:42:07 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=201845#comment-357175A lot of my fellow Red Sox fans have been talking for a couple of years that Ellsbury’s going to look for a Carl Crawford contract. I say, let somebody else give him that money. I love watching him play, but if the power’s not repeatable (and I don’t think it is), ain’t no way he deserves superstar money.

Oops, Boras actually did write that one
